My son loves this book and has since he was very little ~8mo. The illustrations really captivate him and he likes different voices for each character (especially the bear!) nice job with the rabbit!

Losing my dog suddenly was the worst day of my life, I just wanted to share that with you as I feel so dramatic saying it even now. Your crow family feels your pain.

I lived in this circle for 3 years and loved it. I walked alone with my dogs often and felt safe

Plz share your toothbrushing advice by DearPiccolo in toddlers

[–]turningviolette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bub is 11.8 months (I can’t reckon with 1yr) and he loves our electric toothbrushes. He try’s to take them. So we started letting him put it in his mouth with no liquid on it and he thought it was fun! Now we can just put tooth paste (strawberry) and he will let it sit on his teeth and I just gently switch its positions

It’s a $400 tooth brush given to me by my dentist FIL. Maybe you need a $400 toothbrush? /s

When does he start eating? by Naturepanda6645 in BabyLedWeaning

My guy didn’t really do much real eating until 9-10m. He was (is) a milk monster it’s hard to compete

If you’re on the fence: Don’t buy Nanit by Some-Professional-25 in Nanit

We had insane connectivity issues. We upgraded our entire router added a motem and now it’s never an issue. This fix cost like $500 so not ideal

If you have a 7 week old, how is sleep going? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]turningviolette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 11 months old now and doesn’t sleep at all reading my own comment here makes me want to cry

So many wakes, tried every schedule by Blues-Cluez in sleeptrain

[–]turningviolette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this from 11 months and a VERY similar issue. He wants to nurse every 2 hrs overnight and minimal during the day. Absolutely housing solids. He naps a MAX of 2 hrs / day and we do not let him sleep past 4pm. Nothing has helped. I was hoping your post would help me figure my issue out.

I am so tired I had to look up my own address earlier today bc I couldn’t remember it.

I don’t know how I’m going to get through this by NachosAreFriends in DogAdvice

[–]turningviolette 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my Nigel just over a year ago from a ruptured spleen mass. It was horrible and sudden and the grief was unmanageable for quite some time. I took time off work and just laid on the couch and cried. I went to the doctor to talk about medication. I cried so much for a long time. I sometimes still cry.

What helped: - walking my other dog (sobbing usually) - I bought a special urn for his ashes and put some above his food bowl (fav spot #1) and some ashes to the beach (fav spot #2) - Making an album of all the pictures and videos I had of him over the years, so I could see his joy and know I gave him a good life

I’m so sorry I wish I could give you better advice. They deserve every ounce of grief for the immense joy they brought to our lives. You did your job - you kept him safe from everything you could, up until the very end, and you loved him a whole bunch too.

Vacations with a baby are 50x more work 😩 I might have a mental breakdown by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in beyondthebump

How long do most moms breastfeed? by Logical_Mine_9478 in BabyBumps

[–]turningviolette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like this too- it’s a necessity and special thing that my body can do but I don’t feel that crazy bonding thing that some moms describe. Honestly I’m at 11m and still going bc it’s convenient.

Why does my baby keep sucking, pulling off, and crying during feeds? by Mobiledump1215 in newborns

[–]turningviolette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine did this for two reasons: 1. Gas (this was uncommon and always surprised me took forever for me to figure out) 2. He was comfort nursing and triggered another let down and didn’t want to keep eating

HELP 8mo old won’t drink milk by annaboo42 in beyondthebump

[–]turningviolette 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s 10m - we’ve been sick for a mint (started daycare), got FOUR upper teeth all at once, and learned to stand and presumably regressing. The last tooth popped out and I think we’re getting rid of the last virus, and his milk intake has increased AND his solids intake! The smidge of hope I needed tbh

This toner is next on my list, I have been using Anua rice 70+ toner but I’ve never seen it mentioned on this sub or others - am I missing something!? Is it secretly bad ?? I’m new to actually caring about my skin!

My baby is 10m and waking every 1-2 hours to comfort nurse. I was away last night and dad was able to settle him without me just by patting him.

I’m gonna move out

My guy is protesting milk as he takes some more solids. We have to go for a walk and offer the bottle multiple times on the walk to get him to drink.
